District Roll Call
Chairman Tim Smith called the meeting to order at 1:00 p.m. Roll was called, there was a quorum.
Approval of October Agenda
A motion to approve the October Agenda was made by Mr. Lance Hutton and seconded by
Mr. Bob O’Keefe. The motion carried.
Approval of September Meeting Summary
A motion to approve the September Summary was made by Mr. Bob O’Keefe and seconded by
Mr. Gary Collins. The motion carried.
Planners Report
Planners met Sept. 26, 2006, to review the proposed Draft of the District Grant Rule.
Ms. Tammy Snodgrass provided a handout of 12 issues the Planners had with the rule revisions and briefly went over the recommendations. It was noted that the districts did not agree on all of the issues.
Ms. Snodgrass requested the Workgroup and DNR meet to go over all the issues before the Nov. 4 SWAB meeting. Mr. Tom Dunn requested since this was tipping fee funds, that industry members be included in the discussions.
Mr. Jim Hull went over the rulemaking process, the steps it takes and the timeline for the process.
Chairman Smith asked for a show of hands for those who wanted the District Grant Rule Workgroup to meet again to reconsider the Planners recommendations before the next scheduled board meeting. The vote was 5 yes, 11 no.
Ms. Lisa Danbury moved to have Chairman Smith write a letter to the program during the public comment period summarizing comments from the board. Mr. Scott Murrell seconded the motion and the motion carried with only one no vote. Members were reminded that everyone, board members as well as industry and the general public are welcome to present comments during the public comment period.
FY06 End of Year Reallocation
Mr. Pat Muck updated the board on the FY06 end of year reallocation. Approximately $309,000 of DNR’s operating funds will lapse and be allocated to the districts as part of the first quarter of FY07 allocation.
July through September receipts are historically heavy. Mr. Muck cautioned the board not to anticipate that all quarters will be this high – don’t multiply by four. Waste flows change, so the dollar amounts won’t stay the same.
Mr. Hull noted that SB 225 required any unspent money to go back into the fund to be reallocated. As time goes on, less will lapse.
Follow-up Issues Relative to Illegal Dumping
Mr. Chris Nagel showed samples of some illegal dumping signs and noted that the 800 number is an active number, but the caller must identify why they are calling, since this is a general department number. Mr. Nagel included the web site www.nomoretrash.org as a source for report and identifying dumpsites. This web site relays to the department’s illegal dumping web site and complaint report.
Mr. Hull reported on a problem recently with illegal dumping of construction and demolition waste. Schools have contractors that are disposing of the waste improperly. The program plans to do a mass mailing to schools to advise them to add “proper disposal” and “provide proof of proper disposal” in contracts.
Revised Scrap Tire Cleanup Strategy
Mr. Nagel informed the board that the revised Scrap Tire Cleanup Strategy had been approved and letters would be mailed to key legislators. A press release is also being prepared for release on Nov. 1, 2006. Department of Corrections, MVE will clean up sites with 500-10,000 tires. The program will work with Districts and non-profit groups to clean up site containing less than 500 tires.
The program will work with property owners to gain access to these sites through settlement agreement/access agreements. Clean up will be at no cost to property owners if this is a first time violation. The program will seek cost recovery on repeat violators and active businesses.
Directors Report
Mr. Hull reported that program staff attended the grand opening of AmerenUE/Chara Concrete Packaging Plant near Labadie, MO. This is an example of beneficial use of utility waste. They are using fly ash in the production of the concrete mix to be sold at Home Depot stores in the St. Louis area.
Staff are working with the Department of Health to develop a statewide beneficial use approval for the use of tire chips in septic system drainage fields. The tire chips would substitute for the use of gravel in lateral lines.
